System: I Can Open Martial Arts Chests
Chapter 258 - 160: No Name on the List! (Part 2)
"Any unrelated persons may leave, just leave Liu Yulai here."
Jiang Chunhua laughed in anger:
"Looking at your attire, you must be from the Mirror of Sin.
"But even if it’s the Mirror of Sin, daring to be presumptuous in my Iron Blood Hall is still a path of self-destruction!"
Chu Qing’s eyes flickered, already aware that this street definitely did not only have this one swordsman.
There were twelve more people in the shadows.
But these people have exceptional Breath Concealment Technique, and with Jiang Chunhua and Liu Yu’s skills, discovering them would be difficult.
The swordsman sighed upon hearing this: 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
"Why must it come to this?"
With that, he stepped forward, murder intent and sword intent swirling around him.
As he walked, he slowly spoke:
"When the wind rises, the flowers bloom; when the sword falls, the farewell is most sorrowful..."
His voice was desolate, the murder intent hidden within gloom.
As he stepped forward, accompanied by sword qi, its sharpness was compelling:
"Must you all force me to act?"
Not far from Chu Qing’s side, the elder with a tobacco pipe on his waist suddenly sweated on his forehead.
"You are the Separation Sword!"
"On the Evil Extermination List of the Mirror of Sin, one of the seventy-two masters?"
Jiang Chunhua’s face also turned solemn, and she couldn’t help but glance at Liu Yu:
"Who exactly has been targeting you?"
"...Guo Wang."
Liu Yu’s expression was also heavy.
Among the seventy-two assassins on the Evil Extermination List, each one is a master traversing the martial world.
If they weren’t assassins, they could also become powerful figures in their own right.
Chu Qing had mentioned to Liu Yu that people from the Mirror of Sin were targeting him... but never said that it was a renowned master on the Evil Extermination List!
Separation Sword!
Liu Yu had heard of this person!
Even within the Mirror of Sin, he was an anomaly among assassins.
He never assassinated from hiding in the shadows, always standing openly in front of his target.
One sword strike, taking lives.
He once killed the leader of the opposition in front of thousands, then turned away without anyone daring to stop him!
Faced with such a person, Liu Yu had no confidence!
Then he heard the elder suddenly cupping his fists:
"It seems Iron Blood Hall has no fate with this old man, I’ll leave first!"
After speaking, he moved like a spirit monkey, swiftly leaping and disappeared from everyone’s sight in a moment.
And the masters in the shadows did not show themselves to stop him.
Jiang Chunhua almost laughed in anger:
"Cowardly scum, fleeing in the face of battle!
"Old Liu, what should we do?"
Liu Yu also wanted to know what to do, so he couldn’t help but look back at Chu Qing:
"What should we do?"
Jiang Chunhua almost laughed in anger again, at such a time, asking your own retainer?
Chu Qing smiled and said:
"You go attend to your own matters, leave this to me.
"Once the people at the door are taken care of, come back and help me with one more thing..."
Jiang Chunhua was stunned listening to this, he actually planned to face Separation Sword alone?
This courage made her admire him; therefore, before Liu Yu could speak, she stepped forward and spoke first:
"What is it? To collect your body?
"Rest assured, without him, I’ll definitely give you a magnificent burial!"
Chu Qing looked puzzled at Jiang Chunhua, feeling that a person who could survive in the martial world to such an age without being killed must be one of the few gentle ones?
And by this time, Separation Sword was already in front.
He raised his sword and struck!
At that moment, Liu Yu felt as if there was only one sword in all the heavens and earth.
This sword pierced through front and back, traversing up and down, leaving no retreat in any direction.
Either face it head-on, or... die on the spot!
But how could it be faced?
The sword technique he saw was unstoppable, seeming as if there was no other choice but death!
This is the Separation Sword!
Liu Yu finally understood why Separation Sword could kill in front of thousands and leave without anyone daring to stop him.
It’s because this person’s sword technique is too high!
Whoever dares to block... will die!
Buzz!!!
The sound of the sword’s whistling in his ears seemed to silently count down to his death!
But at that moment, a force came from behind.
His body involuntarily moved with this force, and Liu Yu watched as the sword that could pierce through all suddenly left his sight.
Then he saw... Chu Qing stepped forward, somehow bypassing the sword’s edge.
Appearing simply to reach out, he grabbed the wrist of Separation Sword.
The ability to so effortlessly secure the wrist of the Separation Sword naturally couldn’t be just a simple reach of the hand...
But even after exhausting all thoughts, Liu Yu still couldn’t figure out how this move was executed!
The sound of bones shattering came at the moment Chu Qing grasped the wrist of the Separation Sword.
Crack, crack!
From the wrist, following the meridians and acupoints upward, wherever it passed, the sound of bones shattering made one’s teeth ache.
Finally landing on the shoulder, the force unleashed in a burst, there came a tearing sound, and blood sprayed the skies.
The Separation Sword, which moments ago made Liu Yulai feel inescapable within heaven and earth and absolutely unbeatable even if he risked his life, had an arm torn off by Chu Qing right before his eyes.
Immediately after, Chu Qing reached out with both hands, executing the Bead-Grabbing Technique from the Dragon Claw Hand, gently sweeping two fingers over the two temples of the Separation Sword.
Chu Qing took a step back.
The entire long street fell into silence in an instant.
Only the corpse of the Separation Sword fell slowly and finally made a thudding sound.
Jiang Chunhua stared blankly at the scene before her, almost unable to believe her eyes, nor trusting her mind.
She felt as if her mind and eyes had conspired to deceive her.
Otherwise, how to explain what she just witnessed?
The Separation Sword on the Seventy-two Evil Extermination List was killed in one move by an obscure little retainer?
Moreover, the arm was taken first, then the temples were shattered?
The method was extremely cruel and vicious!
This scene was almost too mythical!
How could it be possible!?
Chu Qing clapped his hands lightly and said:
"Everyone, you can come out now.
"You cannot ambush me... hiding loses its meaning."
Everyone except Gentle was startled.
The Separation Sword wasn’t alone!
One after another, figures appeared on the long street.
Except for the two in the middle, the remaining ten were all dressed in black, wearing mask-like faces.
Of those two, one wore a black cape, and the other was clad in tight-fitting clothes.
Upon closer inspection, their masks were different from the others.
The patterns were distinct, more exquisite, with embellishments.
The masks of the other ten were identical.
"So, there are three from the Evil Extermination List this time?"
Chu Qing nodded with sudden realization.
He glanced at his system interface.
[Mission: Nameless! (Eliminate all guests from the Evil Extermination List!)]
[Current Stage: One.]
[Current Progress: One.]
[Mission Reward: Choose one from the Martial Arts Treasure Chest.]
[Stage Reward: One random clue Treasure Chest.]
[Full Stage Reward: Choose one categorized Martial Arts Treasure Chest.]
[Current Available Treasure Chest: Sword Treasure Chest.]
While he was checking his system, he didn’t realize how much shock his previous words had brought to Liu Yulai and Jiang Chunhua.
Anyone on the Seventy-two Evil Extermination List is a master.
This time, three of them came?
Jiang Chunhua couldn’t help but say to Liu Yulai:
"Your worth must be high... The Mirror of Sin sent three ranked masters to kill you; you’ll die a noble death."
"..."
Liu Yulai’s face turned dark, wanting to retort with, "Can’t I just not die?"
But he knew he couldn’t reason with Jiang Chunhua.
This woman had a foul mouth... the more he said, the angrier he got.
"You’re not leaving yet?"
Chu Qing glanced at the few people.
Liu Yulai knew he couldn’t delay here any longer; a large group was waiting for him to kill at the city gate.
And the situation before him was way too high-level for him.
He couldn’t participate at all.
Staying would only cause trouble!
He immediately cupped his fist:
"If that’s the case, I’ll leave this to Brother Han."
After speaking, he was about to leave.
When suddenly two black shadows simultaneously leaped and attacked Liu Yulai.
One of the purposes of the Mirror of Sin this trip was to kill Liu Yulai; how could they really let him go?
But just then, like a wisp of smoke, two cracking sounds rang.
When the figures landed, everyone saw clearly that it was Chu Qing who acted.
He held a corpse in each hand, their necks all twisted, and casually threw them to the ground.
"I said, leave this to me, and you can leave at ease."
Chu Qing paused for a moment, then chuckled:
"Anyone who dares to stop... dies."
